Recommended bet: Draw and both teams to score
Brighton host Aston Villa in the Premier League on Wednesday night when fifth plays fourth. The Seagulls were last seen winning 2-0 away at Nottingham Forest, while Villa beat bottom club Wolves with a single goal in their most recent outing.
The two sides have shown impressive form to be within touching distance of Manchester City and Chelsea near the top, and both will be hoping to maintain their strong results throughout a hectic December, starting with this clash at the Amex Stadium.

Prediction
Brighton will be hoping to make club history with a win over Aston Villa and rack up four successive home wins in the top flight for the first time ever.
The Seagulls have shown strong form since the end of September, claiming five victories in their last eight games, including a convincing 2-0 triumph at Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Villa endured a slow start and failed to win any of their opening five Premier League games but Unai Emery’s men have since won 11 of their last 13 games across all competitions.
It is important to note that the Villans' losses have come on the road, though they should have enough quality to hold Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Wednesday.
While the two teams may well cancel each other out there should be goals. The Seagulls have netted two or more in five of their six home matches in the Premier League while recording just one clean sheet.
Villa have drawn a blank just twice since the end of August, failing to score on Merseyside against Everton and later Liverpool.
Brighton and the Villans are in such good form it is hard to separate the teams and so a score draw could be the smart pick.
